Only for lack of a pillar

The Rural Electrification Board (REB) has completed their work stretching five and a half-kilometre area at Rajakhali and Shreerampur villages two years back. But the REB authorities are yet to supply electricity to the area although villagers bought electronic gadgets like televisions (TVs), refrigerators and fans. They cannot use these due to lack of electricity connection.

Authorities of four mosques, two primary schools, a high school, a women's college and a rice mill also applied for power connection, but in vain.

REB sources told this correspondent that the Board would supply power to villagers as soon as possible after erecting the last pillar.
